About our bath resealing in Llangybi
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA48 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Llangybi
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llangybi as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Llangybi
There’s no area surcharge for Llangybi. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
